If your programs run widget-making machines (or trains) in your startup
and you sell widgets or train tickets, then yes.
If you sell the programs (or embed them in the widgets), then you can
choose the FSF Gnat, or GPL your product, or pay Adacore for a
professional edition of Gnat.
The FSF Gnat has a runtime exception in the license, allowing you to use
the RTS (runtime system) without having to GPL your product, while the
Adacore Libre edition comes with a RTS covered by the GPL.
